Fun and more rehearsals

10-16-01 Tuesday

"Kevin Ridel, an old friend of Rivers and an ex-bandmate from back in the day, was recording demos with his new band, AM Radio, today. Rivers went down to the studio to lend an ear and play some funny ping pong matches. (See the Links page to check AM Radio out.)

From there it was straight to band rehearsal, which today was in a new space. The guys started in right away and honed in on a few key songs, one of which was "The Dawn". It sounds like it’s gotten a new 'going over' on some of the guitar parts. Rivers even stayed on afterwards and worked out this part 'til he got it just the way he wanted. According to him, these are the best rehearsals the band has ever had."
